I listened and learned as people gave me advice as I cooked 165 lbs of Brisket on three backyard cookers. Just came home with an older Lang 84 Deluxe so I never have to do that again.
I will be cooking my first whole hog on my Lang 84 tomorrow night...well EARLY Saturday morning (want it ON by 3 am). Picking up a 100 pound dressed pig tomorrow afternoon. Plan is to inject, rub the cavity, oil and salt the skin, than cook racer style around 275 for hopefully less than 12...
